Oh I read everything you have posted. I just don't buy what you are posting. I am not parroting anything, I am simply saying the differences in our theology have existed for 600 years, people far wiser and more knowledgeable than you or I have argued the differences without resolution for those 600 years. Further these differences will not be settled here so why must you pick the scab of those differences. There are far greater issues, bigger problems and lost souls dying and going to hell. I know about what you are facing and I have been praying about it. I would have liked to have conveyed my concern to you by email but you know that is not possible. Blessings to you. |

Actually the point is to teach, but within established theology, not trying to change theology or altering established truths. Scripture gives us that truth and it has been taught for thousands of years not just the last 600. God established His doctrines, His ways, His standards, His precepts, His commands that and that alone is what we are to teach. Not our own brand of theology that manufactures characteristics of God that aren’t seen in scripture. All teaching must be true to scripture not to the theology of a man. No matter how brilliant that man he was not called to establish doctrine contrary to who God is, contrary to God’s standards, precepts or demands. Man can never put words in God’s mouth nor should he try to use his intellect or logic to convolute a loving God. I don’t trail just any man I only trail Jesus who brings light to the darkness. |

Scripture is supreme, scripture stands on it’s own, most importantly scripture is living it conveys to it’s readers today just as it did in the thousands of years in the past. Scripture never changes. What changes is the conclusions (theology) man draws from scripture. The church had a theology that existed 1500 years, was it perfect? NO! Far from it but it was based on scripture. Then one day a group of Enlightened men decided that the existing theology gleaned from scripture was wrong and they set down to detail the differences, they used great flowing words, eloquent speech, a form of wordsmithing rarely seen before. Their presentation of their theology appealed to man, it tickled their ears and more importantly it seemed more logical and intellectual. There was great debate, men on both sides of the issue lost their lives. End result division. A divide that has been there for over 600 years with no progress from either side, with one exception a majority of the believers stayed with original theology, they made needed corrections, discarded some parts they believed were man made but basically they believed as they had before the division. However the other side refuses to accept this. They demand they are correct. That their conclusion (theology) of scripture is the only correct conclusion (theology) and for over 2000 years every one else is wrong. That brings us to today. Scripture has not changed, the words have not changed or modified yet today we have various schools of theology. Why, I am not sure but I do know that some make accusations against those that do not agree with them and scripture clearly tells us to, “Do unto others as we would have them do unto us.†Enough said. |

I think the original illustration said, “If you write to your Aunt Mildred, would you think that anyone other than Aunt Mildred should interpret what you have written with the intent of her interpretation?†Are now to understand that God gave us men down through history to help us understand what a letter written to Aunt Mildred should have read to Aunt Mildred? Wasn’t the hue and cry of the Enlightened Generation that every man was capable of understanding for himself what scripture was saying? Why do these men have a better understanding than any other man? Does this not neglect that for 1500 before this Aunt Mildred and others did read and understand but then the Enlightened Ones said oh no you have it all wrong it is like this? Again Aunt Mildred had received the letter, had read it for herself and had lived by her interpretation of that letter for 1500 years. Then one day “Enlighten individuals†came on the scene and said, “Oh Aunt Mildred you have it all wrong, here is what these letters are really saying.†When Aunt Mildred questioned the Enlightened ones they told her she was using mysticism and low view of the letter and that a high view without the mysticism the letter said thus and such. However Aunt Mildred and almost everyone agreed with Aunt Mildred had interpreted from the letters were in fact correct and that they should now worry about what others said. However those that disagreed with Aunt Mildred refused to let the issue die and even now 600 years later they still demand they are right and everyone else is wrong. |

“If you write to your Aunt Mildred, would you think that anyone other than Aunt Mildred should interpret what you have written with the intent of her interpretation?†Great Illustration! Let us take it a step further: Now suppose your Aunt read these letters for 1500 years interpreting them as she believed you meant them, then one day a group of “enlightened individuals†came to Aunt Mildred and said you have been reading these letters all wrong! Your logic and your intellect should tell you that what the writer meant was totally different than your interpretation. You must be weak minded to have missed this or you had a hidden agenda. However on further research we find the people that are saying this are the ones that have an agenda. Now suppose we look at the situation almost 600 years after the fact the people that tried to destroy Aunt Mildred’s reading of the letter are still around but very much in the minority to those that agree with most parts of Aunt Mildred’s reading of the letter. Yet those that oppose Aunt Mildred interpretation refuse to accept that some people really don’t care how they interpret the letters to Aunt Mildred because they see much more important issues to be dealt with. Yet the protesters of Aunt Mildred’s interpretation will not stop trying to shame people into their way of thinking. They will even challenge a person’s belief system, their walk through life and even their intelligence in an effort to render Aunt Mildred’s interpretation of the letter invalid. |

48 | The Prevalence of the Liberal Low View | Heb 2:1 | EdB | 243916 | ||
What is often missed in this discussion is the fact that it still comes back to man's interpretation of what scripture is saying to them. If you agree with a man's interpretation that man claims you have a high view of scripture, however if you disagree with his interpretation then he claims you have a low view. High low, all I want is to follow Jesus. And I want to be treated as my brother in Christ would want to be treated, because that is how Jesus us instructed us to treat our brother and even our enemies. |

The reaction of the liberals to the recent election should be a lesson to all. We see the liberals trying to invalidate the results by trying to shout down and censor the elected. Censorship is merely the distasteful tool used by those that do not want to have their position challenged. |

What mention of inferences did I make? You stand on a relatively new doctrine invented by the reformers in about 1600. The original doctrine of the church has existed for 2000 years. If you make this post disappear you prove to all you have no honor |

51 | How should we view Christianity. | Eph 4:24 | EdB | 243910 | ||
Beja Where did I say we ought not to have any dealing with unclean untrustworthy sinners? I think what I said was what scripture said, " Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? ?" Now if you do not agree with that your complaint is not with me. More importantly none of this is in this thread! Even more importantly why would you want to enter into relationship with someone whose father is Satan? |

But the question remains who decides what is objective versus subjective. No addition to scripture is ideal but any interpretation of scripture is in fact an addition to that scripture. Therefore Sola Scriptura may be the goal but it is a goal that can never be absolutely obtainable. This is exactly why there are so many different theological positions in this world today. |

After much discussion, debate, and research, the Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year 2016 is post-truth – an adjective defined as ‘relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief’. Examples given in the political world Obama found Isis; Bush was behind 9/11. Problem who decides what are objective facts versus a personal opinion shaped by their limited perspective. |
